Schaad letter: Presidential campaign

Who will pick the next president?

As the race for the White House continues, it is being said that the monarchs of the financial world will pick the next president. Can they? Since they control the news media world, they and others believe they can. What are they looking for? They are looking for the next resident of the White House to be one who will be manageable and sensitive to their interests.

Presently the people are expressing enthusiasm for Donald Trump and Ben Carson. The problem is that neither of them fit the desired profile. So, they are on their own. What the people must be aware of is that the guns of the media will be booming at them to bring them down. As the campaigns go on in months, the question will be who will win in the end? Will it be the monarchs or the people?
